In light of Australia’s stellar performance in the match, it’s no wonder fans wasted no time showering the team with well-deserved accolades.

In a match defined by stellar performances, Travis Head emerged as the hero, earning the well-deserved title of Player of the Match. With remarkable finesse, he dismantled India’s world-class bowlers, crafting a masterful innings of 137 runs. This formidable display guided Australia to successfully chase down the 241-run target with a commanding 42 balls to spare.

His innings, embellished with 15 boundaries and four sixes, etched his name in history as the seventh cricketer and the third Australian to acheive a century in a World Cup final.

The partnership between Head and Marnus Labuschagne, who scored an unbeaten 58 from 110 balls, was nothing short of epic. Their formidable 192-run stand, the second-highest in World Cup finals, played a crucial role in saving Australia from an early collapse of 3-31 during the Powerplay.

Australia’s victory was not only a testament to their batting prowess but also to their strategic acumen on the field. Opting to bowl first, they executed a brilliant plan, using an array of slower balls and off-cutters to disrupt India’s middle order. Their superb fielding in the first innings set the tone for a commanding performance that culminated in lifting the World Cup trophy once again.
